Believe it or not... it is that time again! Lists for the Da Boyz GT are due this SUNDAY! Naturally, I have not actually decided what list I want to take, nor do I have all the models ready for the event.
However with that being said, why not discuss a couple of lists I have been entertaining over the past few weeks to decide which one is better for the event!
List #1: White Scars with Iron Hands Allies
Khan on Moondrakken 150
Command Squad (5 man) with 5x grav guns, apothecary, bikes 225

Pros of this list:
More models on the table (Then the previous list)
Enhanced Alpha Strike Capability

More Anti-tank capability

Both lists are strong, but for different reasons.
Both lists are going to be fun to play and different then what I am expecting.
Both lists require some work to finish them up for the event.
So which list do you like?
You decide!
